No, it doesnt sound like your graphics card is broken, or not to me it doesnt anyway, others may well disagree. I take it you have taken out the newly installed 5th hard drive and tried booting up. Perhaps it is actually a dodgy hard drive and that is throwing errors into everywher upon booting up.
Try stripping your system down to bare minimal, 1 hard drive, the one with the OS obviously, no CD drives, if you can, no addin cards, as little RAM as you can. Also check if the RAM is faulty.
Without actaully being there theres not much anyone can do/say, this is just the generic troubleshooting procedures again.
